puppycrush2 | week three

[ oh my god. ]

Huh?!

[ THIS IS ON HIM SUDDENLY?! He very briefly glances at the camera with a deer-in-the-headlights look before looking back to Anna and the selection of lingerie in front of her. This is one of those trick questions, he's sure. There must be one she wants him to intuit somehow. But he's also struck by the possibility that - somehow - Will could find out about this, and... well, he's not really the type of guy to get mad, and he and Anna are kind of fighting right now anyway, but it's the principle of the thing! Her getting all shy suddenly doesn't help matters, either - like Steve's opinion actually holds some weight to her. ]

Uh, well... [ he rubs the back of his head, anxious. Should he just go with honesty, or will that make him a creep...? Even though she asked him directly? ] ... To tell you the truth? You'd look killer in any of these. You're really pretty.

[ embarrassing... he may not be making eye contact, but he means it! ]

But... blue or white would look good on you, I think.

[ ... white is will's favorite color...

... ... ...

so she's going to pick out a blue one-- oh no not that the chest isn't right. hold on. picking through... there we go. this one. ]

Okay. I'll be right back.

[ she wants to go try it on!!!!!!!!

which means he's left with the attendant. so. shopping with his girlfriend, huh, ]

W-wait! Anna! The cameras...!

[ there she goes... he's glancing around worriedly. She can't come out on television wearing one of those things!! Maybe he can body block the cameras and save her the embarrassment. He's happy enough to get to see a hot girl in lingerie, but he has to imagine she'd rather not have everyone see it.

Or maybe she's freaky like that. Steve can't say he'd be totally surprised, considering she's apparently enough of an exhibitionist to show him. Maybe he should have picked his favorite color instead of the ones he thought matched her... He gulps, then does his best to try and shoo the nearby cameramen away and guard the dressing room. If he can get the attendant to help, even better. ]

[ it's fine... they're not going to show a minor in lingerie. bikini swimsuits is different.

but. the attendant is sort of encouraging steve's protectiveness, yes, she'll also block, but he's definitely doing the heavy lifting here. which is fine, since a hand reaches out to tug steve's attention. ]

Hey. I need a guy's opinion. Don't think anything of it, okay?

[ everyone here is looking out for your dignity, Anna...!! ]

You're asking for the impossible, lady.

[ how is he supposed to not think anything about it?! he's only a mortal man... one with a fatal zombie bug infection, but a mortal man nonetheless. Still, he can't help but glance over when Anna tugs at his sleeve - it's too much of a natural reaction for him to stop himself. ]

[ great, then he can give his honest opinion on the light blue baby doll she's got on, the sheer fabric laid across her shoulders and front doing little to hide the pale skin beneath it. it ends just above her thighs, and... well. it accentuates exactly what it needs, especially from steve's viewpoint. ]

Well? Girl of your dreams, or girl of your dreams?

[ god!!!! ]

Damn, [ he says without thinking, although it may indeed be the most apt response. He kinda knew she had a great body, considering how she likes to hang out by the hot tub, but there's some indescribable difference between wearing a bathing suit and actual lingerie. She looks really good. Steve's adam's apple bobs as he swallows and isn't quite gentlemanly enough to look away. Whoops. ] Y -- yeah, no complaints here.

[ he is just a guy... but it really isn't like anna has an issue showing herself off. she knows she's hot. beaches love to see her coming. so do most boys. even the 2d adoring nukumizu was shocked by her expanse of skin. she's Fully Aware she just doesn't use it for evil. ]

May it warm your cold and lonely nights, Steve-kun.

[ pityingly... but just a tease really, patting his back and then pulling the curtains shut again. ]

What do you wanna do after this? Grab lunch? I could use a bite to eat... ugh, but I bet this is gonna take up all our funds. It's a totally miserable amount, especially compared to what Dori-chan and I got for the mall.

[ maybe because

they had too much fun during it. and also every other time anna's gone out she's drained production's pockets on food. ]

[ time to think very hard about zombies and giant moths until she comes back out. Be cool, Steve!! He folds his arms and stares at the production crew, continuing to guard the fitting room. ]

You're teasing me, [ he responds, in a light-hearted sort of whine, before continuing. She has to be flirting on purpose - he might as well play along. ] What, did you guys get our budget restricted after a shopping spree? Better hope they don't bill you afterwards.

I'll ask my grandma if she'll clear it for me. It'll be my Christmas gift.

[ sounds good. don't worry about her uptown girl attitude... or the possible flirtations. anna doesn't register it unless she's purposely teasing someone. ]

Were you super popular before you kicked it?

Tch. Must be nice...

[ lil rich girl over here!! ]

With girls, you mean? I dunno about super popular. Not everyone can handle me.

[ AKA he's annoying............ he's going to avoid mentioning that he's been in jail for [redacted] months and so hasn't had much of a chance to get back into the dating scene. ]

Wo~w, what a tough guy line. [ teasing. ] I was just thinking you must be, seeing as you're good-looking and sweet.

[ "sweet" is not the first word anyone would use for him, she's sure, but they also don't know he's a Romantic. ]

That bad boy attitude's all the rage too, isn't it? The kinda cute in your cockiness sort of thing... All while being the type of guy who'd put his coat over a box of abandoned puppies in the rain.

[ a finger is poking at his back. she's good. ]
